MRS. G. W. WILLIAMS
HAD GIVEN UP ALL
HOPE OF RECOVERY
Her Family Was Told by Doc
tors That She Would Die and
Children Were Summoned to
Her Bedside
Many wonderful indorsements have
been given Tanlac. but the statement
made by Mrs. G. W. Williams, of Gads
den. Ala.. Is. in many respects, so re
markable as to be almost incredible. Her
complete statement follows:
“For nearly fifteen years I have had
kidney trouble. I also had stomach trou
ble and suffered from nervous indiges
tion. I could take no nourishment ex
cept a little sweetmilk and would have
palpitation of the heart and nervous
headache and terrible pains in my sides
and back. I got so weak I had to take
to my bed. and I stayed there 18
months Doctors called two or three
times a day. but I kept getting worse
and fell off until I was almost a skele
ton and had to be turned in bed. and only
weighed 90 pounds.
“Mu husband spent more than 1800
trying to get me well. Finally I got so
bad I was told that I could live only a
few days. I believed, of course, that I
was going to die and told my husband
to tefegraph Thomasville. N. C-. for my
son and to Atlanta and Birmingham for
my other children.
"When my daughter-in-law, Mrs. R. C.
.Nelson, arrived from Atlanta, she begged
father to get me Tanlac. He went right
down to Vance's drug store and got me
a bottle. I began taking it and on the
second day I began to get hungry and
asked for something to eat. They gave
it to me and it agreed with me, and I
have been eating ever since. After a
short time I got so 1 could eat anything
I wanted and just as much as I wanted.
"After this I improved right along and
it wasn't any time hardly before I was
out of bed. It just seemed like the more
Tanlac I took the better I got and I have
actually gained 48 pounds in weight. I
sleep good now and am not nervous any
more like I was. Yes, I feel almost as
well as I ever felt In my life and am do
ing nearly all of my housework and
milk the cow and churn the milk.
“After I got abler to go about. I visited
my daughter. Mrs. Short, at Ensley,
Ala., and have just returned from a trip
to the store. I don't do anything but
talk about Tanlac. All of my neighbors
are talking about it too, and think it is
wonderful how this medicine has helped
me."
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
tn all principal towns of the south.

Representative C. E. Stewart, of Coffee
I county, was in Atlanta Friday to appear
j before Governor Harris in connection
with a pardon case. He stated that he
would be a candidate to succeed himself
as Coffee county’s representative, and, in
event of his election, which he consid
ered assured, as there was no indication
I of any opposition, he would be a candi
date for speaker pro tern, of the house.
Mr. Stewart, who has represented Cof
fee county’ for the past four years, is a
well-known farmer and business man of
McDonald. He expressed the opinion
that Robert G. Dickerson, of Homerville,
the present representative of Clinch
county, would be a candidate this year
for the state senate from the Fifth sen
atorial district, which is composed of
Ware. Clinch and Coffee counties.
Qr. J. M. Spence, of Camilla, Mitchell
county's representative in the general
assembly was a visitor at the capitol
Friday* Dr. Spence said he had not de
termined yet whether he would seek re
election to the house of representatives
or run for the senate from the Eighth
district, it being Mitchell's turn to fur
nish the next senator. There are three
counties in the Eighth district —Mitchell,
Decatur and Miller.
Dr. Spence said he had heard that H.
H. Merry, of Pelham, editor of the Pel
ham Journal and well-known attorney,
might be in the race for the legislature
from Mitchell county.
A number of the friends of State
School Superintendent M. L Brittain are
suggesting him for governor. Mr. Brit
tain is one of the leading educators of
the south and is known throughout the
United States as one of the ablest and
most progressive of state school super
intendents.
He would undoubtedly make a fine
governor, but there is not much likeli
hood that he will seek the office this
year, and maybe not at all. He is very
much absorbed in standardizing the
county schools, in pushing the cam
paign against illiteracy and in a num
ber of other progressive movements
which he has inaugurated.
COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 28.—Repre
sentative Ed Wohlwender has determin
ed to continue fighting the fee system
in the Georgia legislature, rather than
run for city court solicitor on the anti
fee platform, and he now declares that
he will not oppose the present incum
bent, T. H. Fort for that office.
In making the announcement, Mr.
Wohlwender declares that the fee sys
tem must go. He says that Repre
sentatives Neill and Swift, of Muscogee,
have a bille he proposes to support with
this end in view. He wants the sys
tem, as applied to all offices in Geor
gia, abolished.
J. Frazier Lyon, a prominent lawyer
of Columbia, S. C„ and former attorney
\ general of the Palmetto state, was in
Atlanta Friday on legal business. He
is an old friend of Attorney Thomas B.
Felder, of Atlanta, and was the latter’s
guest at a luncheon Friday.

W. F. Weaver, well-known lawyer of
1 Reynolds, is being mentioned as a pros
pective candidate for the state senate
, from the twenty-third district, which
I embraces Houston, Crawford and Taylor
! counties. It is the turn of the latter
i county to furnish the next senator.
Oliver Bloodworth, editor of the Mon
roe Advertiser, who is one of the bright
est young editors in the state and who
' gets out a most excellent weekly news
. paper, soliloquizes as follows: “The
1 Republicans and the Progressives may
amalgamate for the purpose of beating
the Democrats in the next election, but
we just can’t help smiling at the thought
of the incongruity of an elephant with
bull moose horns; or a bull moose with
a trunk and bed spread ears.”
While in Moultrie a few days ago
Roscoe Luke, of Thomasville, set at rest
the rumor that he would be a candidate
for congress from the second Georgia
I district. Mr. Luke is quoted as having
said that it was not his purpose to run
this year, but that he might be a can
didate two years hence. The race in
the second will probably be between
Congressman Frank Park and Judge E.
E. Cox, of the Albany circuit.
During the past month the political

COFFEE WAS IT
People Slowly Learn the Facts.
"All my life I have been a slave to
coffee. I kept gradually losing my
health, but I used to say ‘nonsense, it
don’t hurt me.'
"Slowly I was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered.
“My heart became weak and uncertain
in its action and that frightened me.
Then my physician tod me that I must
stop drinking coffee or I could never
expect to be well again.
“I thought of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
“Finally I concluded that I owed it to
myself to give Postum a trial. I got
a package and carefully followed the
directions, and what a delicious, nourish
ing, rich drink it was! Do you know. I
found it very easy to shift from coffee
to Postum.
"Almost Immediately after I made the
chaige I found myself better, and as the
days went by I kept on improving. My
nerves grew steady, I slept well and
felt strong and well-balanced. Now the
old nervousness is gone and I am well
once more.”
It pays to give up the drink that acts
on some like a poison, for health is the
greatest fortune that one can have. Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal — the original form—
must be well boiled. 16c and 25c pack
ages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water,
and. with cream and sugar, makes a de
licious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c
tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

CROP OBIEBSIFIMTIOII
IS SEEK 8V CROXTON
General Passenger Agent of A.
B. & A, Railroad Makes
Interesting Report
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WAYCROSS, Ga, Jan. 29.—That
farmers throughout South Georgia are
preparing to diversify crops on a larger
scale than ever this year was the state
ment made in Waycross Thursday by
W. W. Croxton. general passenger agent
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan
tic, who is making a tour of the section
traversed by the road. He stated that
everywhere he finds farmers actively
engaged in an effort to raise a variety
of crops, and that he has been agreeably
surprised at the constant growth of in
terest in the live stock industry.
“South Georgia is attracting much no
tice in many sections of the country.”
said Mr. Croxton, “and the ease with
which so many money-making crops can
be produced is causing desirable fann
ers of other states to cast
upon South Georgia. There is no ques
tion that South Georgia has the soil
and climate, and as more and more idle
land is put to work the wealth of this
section of the state Is going to steadily
increase.”
Mr. Croxton is at the head of the A.
B. & A. farm development work and
through demonstration agents that work
under trte supervision of the Georgia
College of Agriculture much work of
lasting benefit is being accomplished in
many South Georgia counties.
Former Outlaw
Indian Is Now
On Police Force
DENVER, Col., Jan. 30.—" Gyp the
Blood Joins Police Force!”
With what hair-raising interest the
nation would have read that story haa
it ever appeared in the days before the
well-known gunman met his death in
Sing Sing.
Yet the west has a drama almost as
strange.
For Tse-ne-Gat, the Ute outlaw —
Everett Hatch is his “Christian” name—
the “Gyp-the-Blood” of the Painted Des
ert —has joined the Indian police.
Less than a year ago he was huntea
like a mountain lion through the can
yons and cliffs that border the San Juan
river in southeastern Utah.
■When United States marshals tried to
arrest Tse-ne-Gat in February, 1915,
for the killing of a Mexican herder,
Old Polk, a Ute chief, and a party of
I'tes who had strayed from the reserva
tion and were living near Bluff. Utah,
opposed the attempt.
Pitched battles resulted, in which sev
eral Indians, including a squaw and a
girl and two white men were killed.
The Indians beat off the posses. Bluff
feared a massacre. Tse-ne-Gat, wound
ed, afterward surrendered.
quietus on the speculation by an
nouncing that he was not a candidate
for any of the offices named. The fre
quent mention of Mr. Luke’s name is
no doubt due to the fact that he is rec
ognized as one of the ablest and most
popular men in the state, and who
would grace almost any public office
within the gift of the voters.
That county site and court house row
In Murray county seems to be cutting
the one particular figure in Murray
county politics this year. It is Mur
ray’s turn to supply the state senator
from the Forty-third district, but it is
said that the prospects of a bitter cam
paign are deterring the announcement
of any candidates for this office.
Sor some time it has been supposed
that H. H. Anderson would run. but re
cently he declared that he would not
get into a race which was certain to
result in much bad feeling.
Representative E. H. Beck is being
mentioned as a probable candidate for
senator, but many of Mr. Beck's friends
think he will stand for re-election to
the house or run for superintendent of
schools. Mr. Beck has made no' an
nouncement of his intentions.
The two lehders of the Republican
party in Georgia are at outs and each is
busily engaged in framing up to van
quish the other at the state convention
of the party which will soon be called.
National Committeeman Henry S. Jack
son. of Atlanta, is leading the forces
which are after the scalp of State Chair
man Walter Johnson, of Columbus, and
Mr. Johnson is seeking to defeat Mr.
Jackson’s re-election to the place of
national committeeman.
The Jackson forces contend that
Johnson disregarded his Instructions at
the last national convention in Chicago
and arbitrarily sought to vote the dele
gation contrary to their wishes and the
wishes of their constituents in Georgia.
On the other hand the Johnson forces
allege that Jackson and his crowd are
simply trying to gain control of the
party in Georgia.
It is the announced-plan of the Jack
son forces to put forward Roscoe Pick
ett, of Jasper, present state senator
from the Forty-first district, for the
place of state chairman to succeed John
son, who will probably stand for re
election.
In this connection the following dis
patch from The Journal’s Macon cor
respondent will be of interest:
MACON, Ga.. Jan. 31.—Alexander Ak
erman, formerly United States district
attorney, states today that there is no
doubt but that Walter Johnson w’ill head
an uninstructed delegation to the Re
publican convention at Chicago. Mr.
Akerman says he has just made a trip
over the state and he finds that the
Republicans are practically unanimous
for Johnson. He states further that
Senator Roscoe Pickett could hardly
aerry his own county against Johnson.
Mr. Akerman says:
“I have observed In the papers an in
terview with Mr. Roscoe Pickett In
which he assumes that the Republicans
of Georgia will turn their backs upon our
old time leader, Walter H. Johnson, and
elect him (Pickett) as chairman of the
Republican state central committee.
“In the last six weeks I have trav
eled the state from one end to the other,
and I find the universal sentiment among
the Republicans of the state to be that
It is time for the Republicans to get to
gether behind such a leader as Mr.
Johnson and send an uninstructed dele
gation to Chicago, which delegation will
j use its best endeavors to nominate a
I candidate who will bring together the
1 opposing factions of the Republican par
| ty and lead the party to victory in No
■ vember.
"The Republicans of Georgia, while
i few in number, are men of intelligence,
I and they now realize that if they had
followed the advice of Mr. Johnson in
1912 there would have been no split in
the party, and the Democratic victory
would have been impossible.
“I predict that Mr. Pickett will not be
able in his fight on Mr. Johnson to even
carry his own county, and certainly not
his own congressional district and if he
can show me where he has the support
of more than four Republicans of any
consequence in the state of Georgia I
would be willing to withdraw opposition

WE MUST KEEP WAR
FROM SPREADING TO
THIS SIDE OF OCEAN
“I Must Tell You Dangers Are
Infinite and Constant,” He
Says in Addresses at Pitts
burg and Cleveland
(By Associated Press.)
CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.—President
Wilson, speaking, as he said, "solemn
ly,” warned the nation tonight that the
time may come wnen he cannot both
keep the United States out of war and !
maintain its honor. He declared that
the country must be prepared to defend
itself and prepared at once.
“America is not afraid of anybody,’’ i
he said. “I know I reflect your feeling
and the feeling of all of our citizens I
when I say the only thing I am afraid '
of It not being ready to perfom my j
duty. I am afraid of the danger of j
inadequacy; I am afraid of the danger
of not being able to express the chief
character of this country with tremen
dous might and effectiveness whenever
we are called upon to act in the field
of the world’s affairs.”
•rhe president spoke in Cleveland to
night with more gravity and force than
he has shown during any of his previ
ous addresses on preparedness.
He was applauded frequently and
when he spoke of defending the nation’s
honor the cheering was tremendous.
“Let me tell you very solemnly you ■
cannot postpone this thing,” he de- I
dared. “I do not know what a single
day may bring forth. I do not wish •
to leave you with the impression that ;
I am thinking of some particular dan- .
ger.
INTRICATE DANGERS
"I merely wish to • tell you that we !
are daily treading amidst intricate dan- ;
gers. The dangers that we are tread- I
ing amongst are not of our own mak
ing and not under our control. I think I
no man in the Unted States knows what I
a single week, a single day may bring
forth.”
Again and again the president spoke
of the nation’s honor. He declared the
real man believes his honor is dearer
than his life and a nation's honor is
dearer than its peace and comfort. He
said it had been difficult to keep the
United States out of the war and he
felt he had proved he was a man of
peace when possible.
The .regret that, the question has
come up in a campaign year was ex
pressed by Mr. Wilson.
“Let us forget,” he said, “that this
is a year of national elections.” The
preparedness issue, he added, should
have nothing to do with politics.
For the first time during his present '
tour the president spoke of the navy 1
and of the coast defenses. The latter, '
he said, are good in quality but not
in quantity.
Some people say that the navy ranks I
second, he declared, but the experts i
agree It ranks fourth. He added It [
should be increased.
PREFA R'EDNESS NEC ESS A R Y
Among the possible sources of danger
mentional by the president were the dif
ficulties growing out of the protection
of Americans abroad and the obligation
of the United States to maintain the lib
erties of the people of the western hem
isphere.
New circumstances have arisen, the
President declared today, which make
it absolutely necessary that this coun
try shuld prepare for adequate pational
defense.
"We are in the midst of a world that
we did not make and cannot alter,” the
president said. “Its whole atmospheric
and physical conditions are the condi
tions of our own life also; and therefore
as your responisble servant I must
tell you that the dangers are infinite
and constant.
“I should feel that I was guilty of
an unpardonable omission if I did not
go out and tell my fellow countrymen
that new circumstances have arisen
which make it absolutely necessary that
this country prepare herself, not for
war, not for anything that smacks In
the least of aggression, but for ade
quate national defense.”
America's improvident neglect to build
merchant ships, the president said in ex
planation, had left* thp country depend
ent upon other nations to carry its
commerce, nations now at war all
friends of America, but preoccupied,
stubbornly steadfast in the maintenance
of their main purpose.
"Wherever the ordinary rules of com
merce at sea and of international rela
tionships are apt to be thrust aside or
ignored,” he continued "there is dan
ger of the more critical kind of contro

The necessity for quick action was
made the keynote of the president’s
preparedness addresses in Pittsburg and
Cleveland in this, the first day of a
week’s tour of the middle west. He
told of difficulties encountered in main
taining the peace and upholding the
honor of the United States at the same
time. Two things, he said, were told
him by almost every one who came to
the White House. One was that the peo
ple were counting on him to keep them
out of war; and in the next breath, he
continued, he was told that the people
counted equally upon him to maintain
the honor of the United States.
"Have you reflected that a time might
come when I could not do both?" He
asked. "Have you made yourselves
ready to stand behind your government
for the maintenance of the honor of
your country?
“Nobody doubts that given time
enough we can assert any amount of
force necessary. But when the world is
on fire, how much time do .you want
to take to be ready? When you know
that there are combustible materials
in the life of the world and in your
own national life and that the sky is
full of floating sparks from a great
conflagration are you going to sit down
and say it is time when the fire begins
to do something about it?”
"I do not believe that the fire is
going to begin but I would be surer of
It if we were ready for the fire.”
National defense, the president said,
was not a party matter. He was sorry
that the issue arose in a presidentiaJ
campaign year because of the danger
that politics might becloud it. Repub
licans and Democrats, he declared, were
equally patriotic and should be able to
agree on the national defense of their
common country.
But after all, the president continued,
the Issue did not lie with congress. He
felt that congress would do its part.
The issue lay with the young men and
the employers of the country. The ques
tion was whether the young men would
| volunteer In answer to the call and
whether the employers would place no
obstacles in the way of their responding.
Not until this question was answered,
the president said, would it be known
whether America was to have an ade
quate national defense or not. He ex
pressed confidence that his appeal would
be answered.
The president criticised both advo-
Don’t Send Me One Cent . ’*■
I Am Going To Send You FREE 3 Pair* of Spectacle*
I am putting on the market a large-eye, cable-temple spectacle, th*
frame of which is made of composition non-gold metal that looks like gold,
although there is not one cent’s worth of gold in them. The hooks that go
around the ears are made of soft twisted cable wire (just ex
actly like the high-priced spectacles now on the market).which
will not hurt the most tender ears. I want you to send for
these large-eye, cable-temple, non-gold spectacles of mine.
As soon as you get them I want you to put the first pair
on your eyes—the reading and sewing spectacles—sit
down in front of the open hearth one of these cold wintry ' W H
nights, and you’ll be agreeably surprised to discover that qLjbL / v jr H I
you can again read the very finest print in your bible, jB 1
thread the smallest-eyed needle and ao the finest kind of S B/|
embroidery and crocheting with them on, and do it all Ns. tK
night long without any headaches or eye-pains, and with Wil
as much ease and comfort as you ever did in your life.
THEY’LL ENABLE YOU
TO READ THE FINEST PRINT AND
SHOOT A BIRD OFF THE TALLEST TREE—
f w pair—the distance and shooting spectacles—shoulder your gun
rx and F° out lnto th ® woods some bright and early morning, and
you ‘ 1T be delighted to find that they help you wonderfully
V ’
in sighting your gun and taking aim at your
r / game. And in the evening, when the shadows are
! /KJr .KSTz / gathering in the dusk, youUl easily be able to dls-
Ay; S tinguish a horse from a cow out in the pasture at th*
greatest distance and as far as your eye can reach with
*4 .'J. them on, and this even if your eyes are so very weak that
V i 4 f you cannot even read the largest headlines in this paper.
But the third pair—the protection pair of spectad**—
j s th e best of them all. With this pair of protection spec
tacles on your eyes you will be able to work around In your kitchen and do your
cooking in front of a red-hot stove, go out into the field and do your plowing,
or go out driving when the snow is on the ground, and they will prevent you
from contracting those eye troubles usually caused by heat, dust, grit and dirt,
and keep your eyes in good condition while doing your work.
Now Don’t Take My Word For It
I am going to send these three pairs of spectacles home to you at once,
all charges prepaid, so that you can try them out yourself for reading, sew
ing, hunting, driving, indoors, outdoors, anywhere, everywhere, and anyway.

vocates of a large standing army. The
latter, he declared, are “counsellors the
source of whose counsel is passion;” the
former he likened to a man "so in love
with peace that he cannot imagine any
kind of danger; I almost envy him the
trance he is in.”
Thousands heard the president’s views
on national defense at two meetings In
Pittsburg and other thousands crowded
Gray’s armory here tonight where he
brought his day to a close with the last
of the three addresses. The president
wHI spend the day quietly here tomor
row, leaving at midnight for Milwaukee
to deliver an address Monday which
some of his advisers regard as perhaps
the most important of his tour.
President Wilson’s special rolled into
Cleveland in a downpour. .The heavy
rain, however, did not deter tens of
thousands frojn standing patiently along
the mile or more from the station to the
hotel. They applauded him all along the
route.
After dining at the hotel, the Presi
dent and Mrs. Wilson drove between
sidewalks black with umbrellas to the
armory. There a crowd of 3,000 had
been awaiting him for more than an
hour. Many were turned away.
To give them an opportunity to hear
him, the president decided to address an

The president entered the hall at 1:1®
amid long and deafening applause and
soon thereafter began to speak.
After his speech at Gray’s armory to
night the president returned to his hotel
and delivered a brief informal talk from
the balcony to several thousand people
standing In the rain in the street.
He said he had worked a full day and
added, amid laughter, that he would be
breaking "union rules” by laboring "over
time.”
